Hello all! It's Kendra and I'm back with another blog post! This journey was tons of fun. It was super nice out, so many beautiful cherry blossoms, and really good food!
The journey started off at the Smithsonian metro station. We waited for a few of our classmates and then we were on our way.
The first place we went to was the Tidal Basin. We went here to see the Japanese Cherry Blossom trees. Originating from Japan, the Tokyo mayor gifted them to America. He gifted them because of the growing friendship between Japan and the US that he wanted to strengthen...
The blossoms were so beautiful and I got so many awesome pictures (like the one above)!
Next up was a trip to Adams Morgan, a culturally diverse neighborhood in DC with lots of restaurants, clubs and bars, making it a great nightlife spot. The name Adams Morgan comes from the names of two once segregated schools, the all-black Thomas P. Morgan Elementary School and the all-white John Quincy Adams Elementary School. The schools both desegregated in 1955 due to Bolling v. Sharpe Supreme Court ruling in 1954. John Quincy Adams Elementary is still functioning, while the older thomas P. Morgan Elementary isn't anymore.
John Quincy Adams Elementary^.
Next was Jumbo Slice Pizza! I loooved the pizza there! It was really good and a very good price for such a big slice of pizza.

Lastly, we attempted to interview different countries. Sadly, none of them seemed very interested and were busy at the time.
In all, it was an awesome journey! I hope you come back to read again!
